happy birthday!

my sweet little girl turns one today. at 8:40 pm if you want to be precise.

where did the time go? it doesn't feel like its been long enough for a year to go by. I'm including my favorite picture from each month.

and for milestones, Gretchen can now:

• walk, mostly still with a little help
• climb stairs
• go down stairs
• drink out of a sippy on her own
• says "hi" "uh oh" "ma ma" "mah" (for blowing kisses)
• blows kisses
• waves
• claps her hands
• wants nothing to do with baby food which is a tad of a problem since she doesn't to eat a lot of "adult" food
